City Council meeting of July 15, 1991 Page 4 Bruce Malkerson, attorney for Mr. Atkinson, stated that the pit is being sold to Mr. Atkinson by Andrew Goiffon. Mr. Malk.erson stated that Mr. Atkinson would be prepared to state the "life expectancy" of the pit with regard to mining at the time of public hearing in 1992. Sonja Irlbeck was concerned that with two pits, another asphalt plant would be started. Dean Atkinson stated that although he had no intention of operating an asphalt plant on site, he wanted the language allowing such a use preserved. He did agree to come before the City for a public hearing should he intend to put in an asphalt plant, and such language would be incorporated into the Mining Permit. Sandy Malask.i was concerned that once another permit is granted by the City, it is "impossible" to get rid of it. Slip Wunderlich stated that the City should mage the pit owner/s pave the roads, and then allow them to haul 24 hours a day. McAllister made motion, Brunotte seconded, to grant a Mining Permit to Dean Atkinson to continue the mining of gravel from a 40 acre tract of land located in the SW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 23, T:1N, R21W. This Mining Permit will expire in July of 1992, and is subject to compliance with all special conditions, as stated in the permit. All aye. Motion Carried. PROPOSED POLICY ON BUILDING ELEVATIONS For the last four years, the City Council has taken a strong position with regard to allowing residential structures in or near wetlands and areas prone to flooding from surface or ground water. Although the City has a flood plain management ordinance, said ordinance allows for stricter controls being established by the City. The City staff has implemented the Council policy that the lowest floor elevation of all new residential structures must be at least two feet above the 10C) year flood frequency high water mark or four feet above the high groundwater marl::, whichever is greater. To assure consistency in the future enforcement of this policy, the City staff feels it appropriate to put said policy in writinq at this time. Councilman Miron asked if the purpose of this policy is to address a specific request or application. The City Administrator responded in the negative. Stolt man made motion, Jelinski seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION 1991-10 RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A WRITTEN POLICY SETTING LOWEST FLOOR ELEVATIONS FOR NEW RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES.
